The Vintage cameras They are precious and tend to acquire value over time, rather than losing it. However, if you own such a damaged and unrecoverable model that it cannot be used or reselling it, why not focus on creative recycling? The ideas for an original reuse are manifold: from vases to lamps, here are some inspirations.
Clock
Let’s start from the clock: you can make it with a vintage camera, removing the goal and internal parts. You will have to insert the mechanism of a clock behind the opening of the lens, fixing it with strong glue, and place the dial with the hands.
Container for pens and pencils
Second creative idea: the container for pens and pencils. In this case you will have to remove the upper part of the camera and empty the interior by eliminating the various mechanisms to make room for the pens. You can also cover the interior with felt or fabric.
Vase for fatty seedlings
If you want to reuse the camera as a vase, the procedure is similar to the container for pens and pencils. Also in this case you will have to remove the upper part of the machine and the internal parts to make room for the soil and seedlings.
Lamp from the ground
Another nice idea is to use the old camera to create a lamp from the ground. You will also need a stand and a lampshade. Use the stand as a support by fixing the camera on the top. Customize the lampshade by covering it with photographic films, old prints, or other elements that recall the photographic theme.
Spotlight or wall lamp
Finally why not transform the vintage camera into an original spotlight or a small wall lamp? Remove the goal and the internal parts to insert the thread and then mounts the light bulb.
